Test Plan was performed and approved to ensure that pipes are properly installed in correct
location and ensure that carriers are driving through.
• On completion of the above checks, note comments in the Annexure 1 – “Pre-Testing &
Commissioning Report.
B. Cable Test
• Visually check cables for any sign of damage
• Check cables are securely mounted
• Carry-out cable test as per Inspection test plan to verify system cables are properly installed.
• Check and record DIP switch setting.
• Check proper marking and connection of A&F's cable connected.
• Check if RFID cards are installed and wires are properly connected.
• On completion of the above checks, record parameters and note comments in the Annexure 1 –
“Pre-Testing & Commissioning Report
C. Visual Check
• Check that the Stations are clean & properly mounted and installed as per Inspection Test plan
• Check that access to all parts of the system is safe and satisfactory. Ensure that Access panels
are available where diverters are located.
• Check the area containing the blowers is clean and dust free.
• On completion of the above checks, note comments in the Annexure 1 – “Pre-Testing &
Commissioning Report
D. Blower Test
• Check the blower Control Unit
• Check contact and tight seat of every solder point, plug in connection and clamp
• Check mounting and examine if there is any mechanical damage on the blower control unit
E. Electrical Test
• Check rate of wear of the contactor connections
• Check source voltage (380V / 220V)
• Check control voltage

F. Check the SU Blower

Mechanical Test

• Clean dust grate

• Check contact and tight seat of every solder point, plug in connection and clamp
 • Check mounting and examine if there is any mechanical damage on the blower unit
• Check entire blower unit if clean
• Check source voltage (380V / 220V)
• Check connection of the protective wire
• Check connection to provide power supply, isolator / circuit breaker

G. Check Air diverter

Mechanical Test

 Examine position switches

 Adjust diverter positions
 Check contact and tight seat of every solder point, plug in connection and clamp
 Examine tight seat of motor unit
 Check mounting and examine if there is any mechanical damage on the diverter
 Examine V-belt

Clean entire diverter

 Examine position switches (measure)

Measure motor current

Check the Air Diode

 Examine tightness and function of air flaps

Check mounting and examine if there is any mechanical damage on the air diode

Mechanical Test
Test diverter F3W
 Check mounting and examine if there is any mechanical damage on the diverter
 Check the V-belt / gear motor of the diverter and adjust accordingly as per Inspection Test
Plan
 Check the V-belt / gear motor of the diverter and adjust accordingly as per Inspection Test
Plan

Check the S-bend positions and adjust accordingly as necessary.

H. Test Station
  Carry-out mechanical test as per Inspection test plan to verify stations are properly installed
 Bring the station in test mode and check voltage. Minimum voltage reading should be 22VDC
• Check the gear motor & gasket and ensure they are properly calibrated as per Inspection Test plan
• Check the bypass positions (normal, receiving, & dispatch) alignment while still in Test mode
• Check the dispatch storage chap and slide gates
• Check the air (vacuum, pressure, stop) in the station. Press 7+PTT=vacuum, 8+PTT=pressure
and 9+PTT=stop.
• Record results and comments in the Annexure 1 – “Pre-Testing & Commissioning Report”.
I. Control System

• Check the PC if installed in the correct location against design documentation

• Visually check computer, printer, and controls for any sign of damage
• Check that the computer is properly installed
• Check control units and ensure system software and plug-in are installed
• Prepare preliminary station lists
• Program the control units accordingly as per project specification
• Program the Carrier’s RFID chips according to station lists and schedules

J. Send Test
Priors to Send Test, the following activities must be performed

• Display Test - Perform display test to control the function of the station keyboard. Press every
number of the keypad to verify it is properly working as per Inspection test plan.
• Keyboard Test - Control the function of the display and verify there is no mistake Check the
station controls for any damages like colloq scratches, colloq dents, etc.
• Check the station controls for any damages like colloq scratches, colloq dents, etc.
Send test shall be performed to test the function of the station by sending a carrier
to the station and back. This works when system is in READY status only

K. Send Check
 Carriers should be already programmed
 To Send a Carrier: Select the number of destination station and press PTT. Type "station
number" based on the station list and press "PTT" key ( "12345" + "PTT" ). If you
enter a valid number, CARRIER appears in upper display line, the text associated with station
number appears in lower display line and you can insert the carrier within the next 15 seconds,
otherwise your transmit will be cancelled after this time.
 Insert a carrier in the station and the transit will be started. The transmit is realized
immediately if the system is READY or later when the current running transmit is finished

The carrier must be received at the station

Receive Check
When the station is receiving a carrier, the message "RECEIVE " appears in the display. Then
alarm is turned on
 To turn off the alarm. Dial your own station number and press “PTT”. The message, "SIGNAL
OFF” appears in the display and the corresponding arrival signal lamp is turned off

Afterwards, perform the following:

 Send back the carrier from the Station
 Return carriers by loading the carrier in the station, then it will be automatically sent to its
mother station. Or if desired, dial a different station number
 The carrier must be received at the other station
 The arrival signal of other station is on
